goodbye 2012 [part 2]

Some of my favorite pictures taken with the "real" camera this past year. In no apparent order (because I can't figure out how to move the stinkin' pictures)...

goodbye 2012 [instagram edition]

I was not a good blogger in 2012. Meh.

So many great things happened--big things! I graduated, Tanner got hired on at Baylor, we took trips and visited friends and family, we survived one whole year of marriage(!), we plugged in with a church family we love, we moved...! It's been a full, full year. We're blessed, and I am humbled and so very grateful for God's goodness and faithfulness in our lives.

In the spirit of reflecting, here are some of my most favorite captured moments from this year compliments of the ole' cell phone...which captures way more than my camera these days.

You were one for the books, 2012!

Changes

Happy (end of) November!

This has been the craziest autumn season...it feels like it just began, and here we are, wrapping things up with our last week of November. Things are changing around here. We are moving in two days. TWO days! I can hardly believe it. I'm feeling excited and sentimental all at the same time...I think excitement will win out in the end though. I'm excited for the large winter break that is coming up...time to visit with family, soak up all the special-ness that is the holiday season, and nest in this new place I get to call home. So much change...it's good for the soul.

I'll be back--hopefully next week--with pictures from our Thanksgiving holiday and some peaks into our new  home. My heart is full.
